Description

A flat, dark plank-shaped object with a narrower upper section pierced by two pairs of small holes and a wider lower body. Its surface carries incised lines filled with light pigment: zigzag bands across the upper part, short tick marks and dashes in the middle, and horizontal bands with lozenge chevrons near the base. It is photographed head-on against a pale grey background.
